America; land of the free, home of the brave?

How come we accept anything? We as
people, we as citizens of a nation.

Almost ten years ago I found out
that Christopher Columbus did not discover America. In school, the teacher’s
taught us that Christopher Columbus and his crew, on three ships discovered the
land we call home. The British found out that there was gold over here and they
came over to discover what riches they could gather and take back home. The
teacher’s told the story of the pilgrims and the Indians coming together and
creating Thanksgiving. “Created this country out of nothing”…blah, blah, blah.
The teacher’s not once said anything to us about the British killing all the
Indian’s after that wonderful Thanksgiving feast. School taught us what they
were allowed to teach and what was more than likely taught to them. Schools didn’t
change the tune of that story until recently.

Enough of us knew this information
not, to be true and didn’t make “them” stop-or should I say not, soon enough to
ruin a lot of people. No one stood up and expected “them” to change the course
of this information, why? Why are we willing to accept information that enough
of us know not, to be true. We are trained to believe the information “they”
feed us and we’re instilled with fear of “them”. Taught not to make accusations
of “their” information or “their” governance. Who are “they”; well I’m not
really sure, I believe that is how “they” like it.

I’m not going to say that we as
American’s or citizens of any nation take anything “laying down” however, we
do. How could we allow “them” to completely disregard us and pick the person we
didn’t pick? Pick the person that by all accounts, cheated. America is the land
of the free and the home of the brave but, our President (not current) stole
the presidency! The creators of this nation said “to secure these rights,
Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the
consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes
destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish
it, and to institute new Government” Why have we not done that, because
it would take too much! Because it’s not worth it; how do you know?

We won’t allow our children to lie
to us and we teach them that lying gets you into trouble but, we listen to and
vote for people who lie to us over and over again. We work for government
agencies that commit more crime then “criminals” and we do nothing! We believe
in a God that was taught to us by the same people that told us white and black
people are from different species.

For me, all it really takes is one
good lie and I’m done. Christopher Columbus was that for me. I knew that Bush
fucked with us on that election but, I still don’t know or truly understand
that entire situation. I’m not some
crazy conspiracy, chasing woman that lives her life searching for crime or
trying to take over the world. We are not doing that today, Pinky! I still
support some people because there are a few! There are those out there that do,
do things to make a difference; just as I do. And THANK YOU! I know that it
only really takes, one person. We have to wake up and make changes. We have to
stop allowing the people and the system we created, to dictate us. “They” work
for us-We pay “Them”! The time is now, “they” are slowly working their way to
the point where that doesn’t matter or exist any longer! The first thing that
should change is; our vote, for president, should actually matter. We go out
and campaign, we support to no end, we give you our hard earned money and if we
vote for someone “they” still get whoever “they” want. That makes no sense what
so ever!

I ultimately want peace in our
great nation and the world as a whole. Equality, Love, Respect, Community,
Dedication, Honor, Courage, Faith-world peace! I love my country! Our history
makes us who we are but, the true history is totally hidden from us and it’s
not fair or right! We deserve a nation that works for us and not against us and
we deserve to know the truth. We can’t continue to lie to our children and
expect for our country to have a fighting chance when were all dead. Our children
have to be smarter and more prepared than us.

Top Five Highlights

Woke up one day and realized life was happening to me or around me. I decided at that moment I either take control of my life and make this experience one to remember or at the least worth living, or give up.
